Scissors that cut out cause and effect

'. "

For her decision, Natsume neither expressed approval nor objection, he waited for Asamori's next move.

I saw Asamori took out a pair of scissors from his jacket pocket.

"Asamori, it's too dangerous to put the scissors in that place!" Natsume couldn't help but said.The scissors were placed in Asamori's coat pocket without any protective measures. If you are not careful, the scissors may stab into the body of the carrier, or cause harm to the fingers inserted into the pocket.

However, Asamori didn't care about Natsume's concern.At this moment, she was looking at something intently.Natsume didn't know what she was looking at, all she knew was that it was beside him, and that thing didn't belong to him, but to Asagi.

Then Asamori moved.Holding the scissors in one hand, he greeted him with the other.Natsume thought for a moment that she was going to pierce her hand to bleed out blood. After all, when many things about monsters were mentioned, the role of human blood was also mentioned.But her subsequent actions clearly broke Natsume's "thinking".

Asamori's right hand holding the scissors moved towards her left hand, while her left hand was stroking something, gently holding it up.Natsume narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to see clearly what was on her left hand, but to no avail.It wasn't until the scissors in Asamori's right hand came to the fingertips of his left hand that Natsume realized that it was a thread.

The line, which was invisible at first, actually reflected the moon gate when the scissors in Asamori's hand were about to approach, showing its appearance.Natsume used this light to realize that there was a thin thread in Asamori's hand.One end of the line stretches into the depths of the forest with no end in sight.And the other end is connected to Natsume's body, coming out from the index finger of his right hand.

This is probably what Asamori called "sickness".Then this "thread", to be more precise, emerged from Qian Cong's body.

Asamori didn't have much words, when he found this "thread", he directly cut it short with the scissors in the other hand.

At that moment, Natsume felt that the painful feeling suppressed in his body disappeared at the same time.Although Asagi has not had any adverse effects on Natsume by being attached to Natsume, at this moment, Natsume still feels much more comfortable physically.

Is this the feeling after getting rid of the "sickness" of Qian Cong?Natsume remembered that after falling asleep that night, she felt the pain of Asagi.Now, Asagi should no longer feel that pain, right?

"Asaka, how do you feel?" Natsume asked.

"Hey...it's much better. Thank you, Lord Asamori." Asagi's voice sounded much stronger than at the beginning, but that was all, and the strength did not recover in the slightest.

At this time, Snake Eye came back with the finished Cangqin.He can tell Qian Cong's physical condition at a glance, so he naturally knows what happened just now.I once met a powerful monster with such power in Jiyue Forest.That is what I saw when Mibu-sama invited many monsters to come and enjoy the sound of Asagi, a powerful, noble, and beautiful monster.

Qian Cong's words continued, and did not stop because of the appearance of Snake Eyes.

"But is this really okay? Is there anything wrong with that adult?"

"It won't be a problem." Asahi Mori brushed away the concerns of Qian Cong, "I heard from 'he' a long time ago that there was a luthier in Jiyue Forest, and the sound she played was unmatched in the world. I believe , and he is more than willing to help you."

"Is that really the case? That adult is willing to help Asagi!?" Snake Eye who was listening at the side was very excited when he heard Asagi say this.

"Calm down, Snake Eyes. Although Asamori-sama has removed my 'sickness', he can't cure the 'disease' in my body, so I can just play the kuraqin as usual before then."

"No matter what, at least you won't stop playing because of pain now, won't you? Let's go, just at this time, the door of Jiyue Forest has opened, once again, go and play for him again in front of Mibu-sama !" Snake Eye became more and more excited as she spoke, and directly pulled Natsume to run in the direction of Jiyue Forest.

"Wait! Copper!" Qian Cong called out to stop Snake Eye's move, but it didn't have much effect.

"Before the door closes, we must hurry!"

On the way, a dark-bodied monster ran out and shouted, "Okay, I'm here to get your intestines!", Natsume also had to speed up his pace to prevent the monster from hurting him.Asahi Mori, who followed along with him, speeded up and came to the monster, pointing the scissors in his hand at it.

It seemed that the pair of scissors had a strong deterrent effect, the monster abruptly stopped its body, but it still stretched out what could be said to be hands on its body, facing Natsume, trying to catch it.At this time, Snake Eyes who was running with Natsume turned around and cut off the black monster's hands.

The monster still didn't give up, this time it changed to a tongue, trying to draw Natsume directly into his mouth.

This time, neither Asagi nor Snake Eye had time to react.And the Cangqin in Snake Eye's hand was hit by the monster's tongue and fell from his hand. On the other side was a cliff that was not too high or too short.

And Natsume, at this moment, rushed to Cangqin and hugged it to prevent it from being broken.

This is - very important thing for Snake Eye and Light Onion!

I don't know how long Natsume woke up again.Snake Eye stood by his side, while Asamori still stood on the cliff and did not come down.

Maybe he couldn't find a way to get down safely.And Asamori standing there all the time also means that the monster that has been chasing Natsume has disappeared.Now, the most important thing to do is to go to Jiyue Forest, the door should not be closed yet.

Snake Eyes thought so too.

Natsume sat up and found that Asagi had left her body and was sitting beside her.

"Since you wake up, you'll be fine. Is your body okay?" Snake Eye asked with concern.

"Well, no problem."

"In that case, we shall take our leave."

"Eh?" Natsume was surprised by what Snake Eye said.Isn't it necessary to use his body to let Asagi play?Why are you saying goodbye to yourself now?

Snake Eyes saw Natsume's doubts, and explained: "Asaka no longer suffers from 'sickness', so it won't stop playing due to stiff fingers during the playing process, so there is no need to rely on other people's bodies anymore. gone."

"Ah, that's right." Natsume looked at Qian Cong, who bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

"Then we're leaving, bye."

Snake Eye took Cang Qin from the side.Although Cangqin fell from the cliff, he was unscathed because of Natsume's protection.

"It's fine here, Copper." Qian Cong stopped Snake Eye from raising her hand.

"what happened?"

"After suffering from this disease, I have been thinking—" Qian Onion said while taking Cangqin from Snake Eye's hand, and unwrapped the cloth wrapping it, "If possible, it seems Let's talk about the violin."

"I've always played for that grown-up. So, if I could talk about the piano again, I hope—for my tender, important friend. I want to ask you to play, would you like to Listen? Copper."

The clouds covering the moon gradually dispersed, and the moonlight shone on Snake Eyes and Qian Cong's body.

Qian Cong's fingers caressed the strings, and slowly plucked the strings.

That is, a wonderful sound that I have never heard before.

After that, Qian Cong fell into a deep sleep because of her weakness, and Snake Eye decided to take her back to Jiyue Forest. After all, that was where they had been living all the time, and thanks to Asagi, Qian Cong could start playing again.

Before going to sleep, Asagi thanked Asagi once again, and of course, thanked Natsume as well.Although there is no appearance of Asagi, Asagi can also borrow Natsume's body to play for Snake Eye, but for such a thing, he still hopes to use his own body.Today, all wishes have been fulfilled.

The Kurakoto used by Asagi was finally handed over to Natsume.Natsume took it home and tried to play it by herself, but she couldn't make the sound that flowed from Asagi's fingertips.

※※※

"Good morning, Natsume."

"Good morning."

The beginning of a new day.Natsume looked at Asamori's seat.She still didn't come today.

Several days had passed since Asagi's incident, and Natsume hadn't seen her since then, neither at school nor in town.

On the first day, Natsume learned from her classmates that Asamori's grandmother would feel unwell every time the seasons changed, and it was because of this that Asamori transferred from Tokyo to take care of her grandmother. .I just didn't expect Asamori to ask for such a long leave.

Natsume looked at the bandages in his hands.Fortunately, Asamori is not here these days, otherwise I don't know what she would think.Asamori has always been thinking about the monsters, but if what the monster wants to do is a bad thing for humans, for example, this monster can break the seal by eating itself, what will Asamori do? Do?

The last time I met the monster who only wanted to eat his intestines, Asamori just pointed at it with scissors instead of causing harm to it.

Natsume didn't dare to think about it anymore.

If, only if.Asamori wanted to release that monster, and he absolutely wanted to stop her!
